6) Pillows and Traveling – The Struggle is Real
If you’ve struggled to sleep on long flights, the Ostrichpillow Go Neck Pillow might be your new best friend. I have seen a ton of ads touting this pillow. Supposedly, unlike the usual U-shaped pillows, this one offers 360-degree ergonomic support with soft, jersey-like fabric and firm memory foam. It’s compact, washable, and designed to keep your head upright—even in the dreaded middle seat. Anyone already using it? Is it worth the price? View it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GMJB5ZZ. We’d love to hear your experience! read more…
7) You Can Submit an Item to Brigada – For Free!
It’s easy. Just click to https://brigada.org/submit-an-item. Be sure to read the submission guidelines first. It’s ok to pitch in a gift toward Brigada’s budget if you like (and it’s true that pitching in helps bump up your item in the calendar and the order of appearance), but you really don’t have to do so. The money helps meet the budget, but the goal is the Great Commission. read more…
